I don’t know enough about the true private lives of either of these people to answer.
And neither do you.
Why are they the opinions?
Anyway Marilyn Manson, because the stuff you see on TV is just an act.
@jmah No, you was going to die.
@Likeradar
Wow, my bad! I didn’t know you was the president of their fan club. Sorry! ~
@jmah
I only provide quality questions. lol
Wow Fluther removed my reply because I called Jackson a child molester. He was!!!
@Self_Consuming_Cannibal does that deserve a response? I’m not a big fan of either. But I am a fan of quality questions, and not assuming an artist’s public persona or tabloid rumors are true. Call me crazy…
yeah…you call it quality question eh?sounds to me like some kid sale out in fluther.com
@Likeradar
I don’t think you’re crazy, but I do think you really need to take a workshop on developing a sense of humor. Isn’t this site supposed to be fun? If all the question are serious, then that would be boring. Would you rather me ask:
Where can I go to download software for the “Microsoft Wireless USB Wireless Adapter Model #: WN-510?”
Wow you’re right likeradar! ~ That’s so much more interesting and fun to answer! You’ve changed my life!~
By the way if it didn’t deserve a response, then you wouldn’t have responded, you’re the queen of quality!
@Self_Consuming_Cannibal Dude give it up !! There’s people on this site who are wound too tight !!! They believe only questions which meet to their standards should be posted !!
Earlier today I got cussed out by a nut because I posted a funny question and by doing so it bumped off the main panel a question he felt was very important !!!
I told’em what he could do W/his mother
To answer your question!! If I had to choose between two evils !! Manson !! I guess !!
I would much rather have Marilyn Manson raise my kids if those were my only two choices. Did you see the way he mentored Chris Griffin?
Marilyn Manson. I actually think he’s somewhat normal in private and I understand he is quite intelligent.
Yeah, Marilyn Manson. If you heard his interview with Terry Gross, you might actually prefer him to yourself.
@FlutherMe – MJ was acquitted of those charges in a US court of law. Any of the Jacksons could see what you wrote and sue Fluther, as they would be held responsible for letting that go by in public as libel. I imagine that’s why your answer was removed.
Manson. There are several similarities between his life and mine which would make him a better parent in my eyes than Jackson.
How long does it take to think up these hypothetical and astoundingly banal either/or questions?
Marilyn Manson is insanely intelligent and articulate. He’s shy and sweet and his stage act is cultural critique. Some people just don’t understand he is an artist. I have met him and spent a few hours with him.
@Pretty_Lilly
I think with the use of all the exclamation points you might be pretty wound up tight yourself. :-P But your answer was articulate and you actually answered it so +5 lurve to you.
P.S. Don’t you hate it when people can’t take a joke?
@Supacase
He is very intelligent, I’ve seen many interviews with him. If you every see one you should notice his intelligence.
@Zen_Again
I have seen that interview and it was interesting.
@gailcalled
It takes me about as long to think them up as it takes you to respond to them.
I like Michael Jackson a lot. No one has any proof he molested anyone. He was fucking messed up, obviously, that doesn’t mean he did anything wrong. Yeah he was acquitted and you can say it was only because he’s so famous and popular but there are also recordings of the dad of that kid who accused him saying that if they sued him and won, they’d get a shit ton of money and if they sued him and he settled just to shut them up, they’d still get a shit ton of money. It was a win win either way for them. So fffff all you MJ haters, chimona
@deni
I personally think he did to it, but with a name like deni of course you wouldn’t. lol jk I disagree with you but you gave evidence to support your opinion. +5 lurve
Marilyn Manson.
From what I have read of him he is very well educated, intelligent, and a generally good guy. From what I have read of him the stuff on stage is his stage persona. I would not like my child to be raised by any stranger but, with only those two choices, I would pick Manson.
@deni
What grown man likes to sleep with little boys???
If I pulled some sick shit like that I’de be labeled Chester the Molester and hauled off to the booty-house no questions asked.
I read Marilyn Manson’s autobiography, and I have to say that I was greatly impressed by his intelligence, perceptiveness, self-awareness, and articulateness, as well as his understanding of his audience, our culture, and the mood of the times.
I would not want my children raised by either of those two, for different reasons, and I reserve forced choices like this for career inventories and personality tests, but I do give points for a creative question.
@tinyfaery, did he take the mask off and talk to you as a real person, or was he still in character offstage with a stranger? Did you meet him in some professional capacity?
@tinyfaery I second @Jeruba‘s question. Did you meet the real man or the public facade?
@FlutherMe yeah he was 50 years old physically, that doesn’t mean he was mentally. he obviously wasn’t, have you ever heard him interviewed? middle aged men dont talk like that. he was in the state of mind of like, a 10 year old his whole life because his childhood was fucked up and he was so far from normal and from having a normal life that we can’t even comprehend what went through his head. he liked children. doesn’t mean he had sex with them.
@Self_Consuming_Cannibal whats wrong with my name? :(
@Zen_Again I watched that interview, and I am horrified, sickened, and scared for my kids.
How can anyone watch Bill O’Reilly?
When we met he had eyeliner on and that’s it. I have a very well-connected friend and I’ve been able to meet since very high-profile people. He was at my friend’s house, we smoked some dope and ordered in food. We did a lot of small talk and he was very quiet until you engaged him in something interesting. He reminded me a lot of myself, actually.
@tinyfaery Interesting. I knew a fellow who knew quite a few of the WWE wrasslers (he was security of all things) and he told me quite a few stories. They are nothing like their personas. Some are asses in their own right like all of us but the public persona is just that.. I suspect that this is so for a lot of the high profile individuals.
@FlutherMe Your answer was removed due to the “lurve inflation” bit, not because you said he was a molester.
